Ingredients

  • 6 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 cup crushed strawberries
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1-1/2 cups 2% milk
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup chopped fresh strawberries
  • 3 cups crushed strawberries
  • 1/4 cup seedless strawberry jam
  • 1/4 cup water

Method

  • In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth; stir in strawberries. Chill until serving.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Combine the eggs, milk, sour cream and butter. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in strawberries.
  • Pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto a greased hot griddle; turn when bubbles form on top. Cook until the second side is golden brown.
  • For sauce, in a small saucepan, combine the strawberries, jam and water; heat through. Spread cream cheese mixture over pancakes; top with sauce. (Refrigerate remaining sauce for another use.)
